Not sure this is really dum-dum.
Harry's right. The 3M strip caulk isn't the original, but it is a good
substitute for a lot of the sealer that GM used that can't be easily found.
I rolled the strip caulk between my hands to a string like diameter for the
hinges and laid it around the mating surface in a tight spiral so it
wasn't too thick before tightening and it worked fine. A little goes a long
way. The old asphalt based spray undercoating worked in some cases as well,
but not on new paint jobs because of the petroleum based solvents (according
to the painter who had decades of experience).
